  5. Audience & Purpose • Target audience • District teams that will be engaged in the work of identifying and selecting District-Determined Measures • Purpose • Participants will: • Learn about various approaches to filling gaps in District-Determined Measures • Learn about the benefits and challenges of the various approaches

  6. Agenda • Debrief of TA & Networking Sessions • Approaches to Filling Gaps in DDMs • Selecting an Approach • Cataloguing Potential DDMs • Pilot Testing • Q&A and Next Steps

  7. Debrief of TA & Networking Sessions • July 11, 2013, 9:00am – 12:00pm • East: Norwell • Central: Fitchburg • West: Holyoke • Opportunities to discuss DDM pilot plans and network with colleagues • DDM Stakeholder Engagement

  8. Debrief of TA & Networking Sessions • DDM Pilot and Implementation Planning

  9. Agenda • Debrief of TA & Networking Sessions • Approaches to Filling Gaps in DDMs • Selecting an Approach • Cataloguing Potential DDMs • Pilot Testing • Q&A and Next Steps

  10. Approaches to Filling Gaps • Build: developing all components of the assessment (e.g., test specifications (blueprint), instrument, scoring method) “from scratch” • Borrow: acquiring an existing assessment from another district, state, or other organization for use “as is” • Buy: purchasing a commercially available assessment for use “as is”

  11. Build, Borrow, or Buy Overview • Each approach has benefits and challenges • One approach may not be the right choice for all grades/subjects or courses • Choice should be based on local needs and context • Most districts will use a hybrid approach • Building an assessment from scratch and borrowing or buying the ‘perfect, ready-made’ assessment represent opposite ends on a continuum • There are a many, varied hybrid approaches that fall between these opposite ends of the continuum

  12. Build, Borrow, Buy…or a Hybrid Approach • Hybrid Approach: • Some combination of building from scratch and borrowing/buying • Borrow or Buy • Build From Scratch: Building a completely new assessment from the ground up From Elsewhere: acquiring at no cost or purchasing an existing assessment from another source for use as is • May include building components from scratch, using components as is, and/or modifying components to meet your needs

  13. Agenda • Debrief of TA & Networking Sessions • Approaches to Filling Gaps in DDMs • Selecting an Approach • Cataloguing Potential DDMs • Pilot Testing • Q&A and Next Steps

  14. Discussion Points • Engage Educators • Identify Content • Defining the Assessment • Evaluate Utility and Technical Quality • Communicate Results • Monitor DDM’s Use

  15. Engage Educators The district team needs to engage educators in DDM process: • Build: engage educators to build components • Borrow/Buy: engage educators to evaluate components • Hybrid: the amount of educator engagement depends on where your district team is positioned on the continuum

  16. Identify Content The district team needs to identify content to be captured in an assessment: • Build: use curriculum framework to build detailed test specifications • Borrow/Buy: evaluate alignment of existing content to curriculum framework • Hybrid: the content to be identified depends on where your district is positioned on the continuum

  17. Defining the Assessment The district team typically needs to define the same components for each assessment (e.g., instrument, administration protocol, scoring method--See Technical Guide A): • Build: build all components from scratch • Borrow/Buy: some or most components likely already exist but still need to be evaluated • Hybrid: Some components may be needed depending on where your district is positioned on the continuum

  18. Evaluate Utility and Technical Quality The district team needs to evaluate utility and technical quality of an assessment: • Build: must establish evidence of quality over time • Borrow/Buy: information about quality may already exist, but still need to evaluate • Hybrid: evaluating utility and technical quality will vary depending on where your district is positioned on the continuum

  19. Communicate Results The district team needs to communicate the results of an assessment: • Build: must determine audiences and create reporting methods audiences • Borrow/Buy: reporting methods may already exist (for some/all audiences), but may need to create and/or evaluate • Hybrid: what and how much is communicated depends on where your district is positioned on the continuum

  20. Monitor DDM’s Use The district team needs to monitor (evaluate data) and maintain (revise and improve) an assessment: • Build: needs to include gathering data to assess quality from scratch • Borrow/Buy: monitoring will still be required but likely there is a starting point • Hybrid: monitoring an assessment depends on where your district is positioned on the continuum

  21. Agenda • Debrief of TA & Networking Sessions • Approaches to Filling Gaps in DDMs • Selecting an Approach • Cataloguing Potential DDMs • Pilot Testing • Q&A and Next Steps

  22. Cataloguing Potential DDMs • Use the Assessment Quality Checklist and Tracking Tool to document your district team’s initial evaluation of Potential DDMs: http://www.doe.mass.edu/edeval/ddm/webinar/Quality-Tracking-Tool.xlsm • Depending on the approach taken, the team may not be able to complete all fields of the checklist right away… that’s ok.

  23. Agenda • Debrief of TA & Networking Sessions • Approaches to Filling Gaps in DDMs • Selecting an Approach • Cataloguing Potential DDMs • Pilot Testing • Q&A and Next Steps

  24. Pilot Testing Benefits • Test of the administration method and process • Can identify problems with administration protocol wording, accommodations • Test the scoring method and process • Can identify problems with rubrics, scoring software • Test of the reporting method and process • Can identify problems with delivery of the reports and in understanding the results • Test of items on instrument • Can identify items that do not perform as expected

  25. Agenda • Debrief of TA & Networking Sessions • Approaches to Filling Gaps in DDMs • Selecting an Approach • Cataloguing Potential DDMs • Pilot Testing • Q&A and Next Steps
